F Dm7 Am7
Now the houses are ghost over Silver Street
Dm F/C G/B G
You’re got ‘em dressed up like clowns
Gm Am Dm7
Married couples slamming doors, bums praising the lord
Gm Eb F
And you're playing tapes for the town
Am Am6
Now the neighborhood mixed and your college friends
Dm F/C G/B G
Are getting younger every year
BbM7 Am7 AbM7 Gm7 F#M7
The wind don't blow and the grass don't grow
F
And you're never leaving Silver Street
F Dm7 Am7
You bought some brown wire frames at a joke shop
Dm F/C G/B G
That was your trademark in school
Gm
Now they're barely hanging on
Am Dm7
And the styles are moving on
Gm Eb F
It's hard for a man to stay cool
Am Am6
So the seasons change and the storefronts change
Dm F/C G/B G
While everything else stays the same
BbM7 Am7 AbM7 Gm7 F#M7
The wind don't blow and the grass don't grow

You're never leaving Silver Street
Bb
Well now don't get me wrong cause
Bbm7 Am7
Ohhh, I like this neighborhood
Dm
Oh is seeing you is good
Dm7 C#aug F/C G
But now we spend the day so completely uninspired
Gm7 (C13)
Asking why oh why would I be tired
F Dm7 Am7
They're filling the pot holes in on Silver Street
Dm F/C G/B G
They're waking the neighbors up at noon
Gm7
Now you're friends are out on break
Am Dm7
And you're out on your brown lawn
Gm Eb F
Raking the dirt with a broom
Am Aaug
Well the seasons change and the storefronts change
Dm F/C G/B G
When everything else stays the same
BbM7 Am7 AbM7 Gm7
The wind don't blow and the grass don't grow

You'll never leave Silver Street
